It may be the dying empire, but it still has a lot of bite. Its servants and vassals are still many, and as I continuously predict, they’ll be fighting tooth and nail and they’ll try to take everyone they can with them into the abyss.

Grim prediction, but accurate. Thankfully, we have Russia, who will continue stopping mankind from plunging into the abyss. We still have good and honest people, we also have a small but powerful number of the highly evolved people, who will continue speaking the truth and revealing their true clandestine plans. And together we’ll shift the situation to a better outcome. But at a cost. The cost is grave and it is being paid every day.

Meet USA’s next victims: GREECE and CHRISTIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH!

Chummy Putin and Greek PM Tsipras, 2017

The US got it: they lost the Nord Stream-2 battle and they are trying to switch to sabotaging the Turkish-Southern Europe Stream. There is a serious rumor about how they are meddling in Greece and Turkey.

You remember how several years ago Tsipras, the PM of Greece, tried to ask Russia for money and threatened to exit EU and side with Russia. This was called Grexit. Last year it was also announced that Turkish Stream would continue on to Europe through Greece. This was a big leg-up for Greece, and Tsipras was seen at many Russian international events, smiling.

Traditionally, for many years Russian-Greek relations have been top notch. For various reasons: Russia liberated Greece from the Ottoman yoke and they seemed grateful; Russia and Greece are sharing the same Orthodox faith; there has been an emotional affinity.

Then, very suddenly Russia-Greece relations hit a strange snag several months ago, seemingly for no reason.

Despite that snag, Russians, with their usual hopefulness, planned to turn the relations around soon. A couple of months ago, Russia was also the first to help Greece with recent fires by sending professional rescuers, helicopters and tech to the devastated Greece. But instead of a thank you (which shocked Russians), Russia got a stonewalled silence when it came to choosing sides in the Ukraine religious schism situation.

HOW’S THAT POSSIBLE? Why such sudden change in Greece’s behavior? What caused it? You may think I sound like a broken record when I tell you that it’s all because of the US. Some may even roll their eyes.

Ah, but I have direct proof. We don’t even need to know all the details of the situation. All we need to know is one fact only.

WHO IS THE CURRENT US AMBASSADOR TO GREECE?

Answer:

‘Geoffrey Pyatt is the New US Ambassador to Greece. US Ambassador to Greece David D. Pearce is being replaced by Geoffrey R. Pyatt, a former US Ambassador to Ukraine. The USState Department has chosen an experienced and firm diplomat as the next American Ambassador to Greece. May 6, 2016.’

It is the same man who successfully subverted Ukraine and organized, along with Victoria Nuland, the Kiev Maidan!

Geoffrey Pyatt, US ambassador to Ukraine, holds the #UnitedForUkraine banner (tall man on left), together with the Kiev US embassy staff, during the Kiev Maidan, which is a direct interference in the affairs of another country!

After Pyatt successfully subverted Ukraine they sent him to another hot spot, aka, another Russia-friendly country and Russia’s KEY ally in Europe! In other words, to Greece.

What’s happening in Greece today, due to the US interference, is directly connected to the global Orthodox religious schism, which may result in the global religious war, and which is a direct stab at Russia. This stab, for which Ukraine is being used yet again, is extremely dangerous and very significant, even for those of us who aren’t religious or Russian Orthodox.

It is a stab directly into the heart of the Russian identity. It is a direct attempt to sabotage and destroy the Russian World form within, therefore, attempting to destroy Russia the Great Balancer!

Orthodox Schism> Sorry to say, the meddling of the US has gotten out of control. The situation is bizarre and completely illegal. It basically is a hostile takeover, with the idea to weaken and dismember Russia and Ukraine further. As of now, 11 out of 15 independent Orthodox churches (if we count the Moscow Patriarchy), and various divisions of the church, said no to Ukraine’s autocephaly and church independence.

Soon we’ll know how much the US can twist arms and how far they are prepare to go. My prediction: unfortunately, all the way…

That was a year ago: Putin treated like king (or emperor) at the Greek Orthodox monastery, while on a trip to Greece. That Golden throne of sorts in which he stands (one must stand in the Orthodox church during a service) was reserved millennium ago for Byzantium Emperors. Putin was blessed for his future word and deeds to benefit humanity, by the Greek monks.

The so-called ‘Constantinople Patriarch Bartholomew’, whose very tiny, comprised of only a few thousand believers flock is located in the Phanar (Fener) quarter of Istanbul, Turkey. Bartholomew, a Greek by nationality, is Turkish citizen, and he once served in the Turkish army.

Bartholomew recently made an announcement that Ukrainian church will receive the autocephaly (independence) and separate from the Moscow Patriarchy very soon.

This announcement is already being compared to the Great Christian Schism of 1054, when Christianity split into Orthodox and Catholic.

The consequences facing Ukraine are also being compared to the St. Bartholomew Day’s Massacre in France, and it is noted that the Constantinople Patriarch’s name isn’t Bartholomewby accident .

It is also said that the Constantinople Patriarch has no authority to interfere into the affairs of the Russian Church in Ukraine. He isn’t the Pope and the structure of the Orthodox church is very different. There is no formal head, but 15 independent churches, which decide their affairs collectively.

Out of 15 independent Orthodox Churches 11 (including Russian) are against the schism and against autocephaly for Ukraine. Greece turned out to be one of the four churches who said ‘yes’, or are silent. this was so unexpected that only one conclusion can be made: the US fingerprints are all over it!

As I wrote in ESR22, Russia is working tirelessly on all levels to stop the schism and to improve relations with Greece. The US does everything to continue souring them.

_______

To illustrate the magnitude of the problem, here are some stats:

There are 300 million Orthodox believers in the world. One half of these, 150 million, are members of the Russian Orthodox Church (Correct Russian name: Pravoslavnaya Church).

The influence of the Russian Church and Russian Patriarch is such that when the Pope needs to meet with an Orthodox Patriarch, he meets with the Russian Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, not with the nominal ‘head’ of the church, Bartholomew of Istanbul.

Patriarch Kirill has proven to be a skilled leader and wise politician. He managed, for instance, to turn around Russia’s relations with Bulgaria. I also was a witness to how wisely he handled one controversial insider situation among the monks at one Russian monastery. He presides over the Moscow Patriarchy, which is a state within several different states, and manages to balance out the many issues and ambitions. He also calibrates highly, a big, big plus. Unlike Bartholomew, and many other leaders of various churches and organized religions, I might add.

Patriarch Kirill of Moscow

Patriarch Kirill and Putin

This is what’s making Bartholomew so jealous, and violently so. He is ready to generate a global religious war and split the church, so he would become the new ‘orthodox pope’ to all kinds of rebels and defectors.

Bartholomew was advised by many not to do so, but in the end he succumbed to the sins of jealousy and greed.

________

Do you know what the defining problem is? It’s: MONEY. The Constantinople patriarch is severely strapped for cash. And the US can bribe very effectively.

In the past, Russia saved the Constantinople patriarch more than once from bankruptcy, giving him money throughout the years.

But lately, the US and Canada gave lots of Greek Orthodox churches on their territory to the Constantinople patriarchy, and that’s who pays his bills nowadays. The end result is: US/Canada dictate the policies of The nominal Constantinople patriarchy.

The proof is on the surface: Bartholomew announced that he is sending two envoys to Kiev, one from the US and another from Canada. This ‘dynamic schism duo’ is supposed to prepare Ukraine for autocephaly. Both are originally FROM WESTERN UKRAINE. This in itself speaks volumes, as this is from where the ukro-nazism and Bandera fascism spread all over Ukraine. The one from the US is actually an ex-US State Dept employee, who also was first a Catholic or Protestant, but for some reason felt the urge to switch to Orthodox Christianity, probably because State Dept decided it would look better on his resume, what with his mission to create religious schism.

It’s being openly said in Russia that the Constantinople patriarch took American money, LOTS of it, and this accounts for his illegal move. This US money sweetens Bartholomew’s jealousy and resentment against the Russian patriarch, who’s got both power and money.

Generally, this schism may be a good wakeup call in the end. There may be a silver lining in that it’ll allow people to look with a more critical eye at Christianity and organized religion. This may also be a wakeup call for all the Russian culture / Russian world people, regardless of where they live. There is an all out war declared against Russia. This new anti-Russian move may remind all those who consider themselves a part of the Russian World to unite and consolidate, regardless of their religion.

That said, we should always treat the feelings of religious people with utmost respect, as faith and spirituality are very delicate matters of the soul, and should not be trampled on.

But make no mistake: those who are doing it aren’t about religion and they don’t care about the feelings of the religious people. They are cold-blooded predators who only want one thing: the tearing apart of the Slavic world and the destruction of Russia.

The fact that there is an all out war against Russia is being now recognized even by the most pro-West and Russophobic Russian liberals. Examples: recent statements by well-known neo-liberals Sytin and Nadezhdin.

Nadezhdin was a close ally of Yeltsin in the ’90s and a big part of the ’90s ‘reforms.’ He has recently been saying at Vladimir Soloviev shows that Russia needs to protect herself better and that US along with Ukraine are playing a dangerous game. He had some stronger words, too. But Nadezhdin at least loves his country, Russia, however strangely he expresses it most of the time.

There is a much more striking example. Meet Sytin, a self-proclaimed Russian Russophobe, who lives in Moscow with his Ukrainian (also Russophobic) wife. In a recent show with Soloviev, when Skripal hoax and new anti-Russian sanctions were discussed, he began with this opening remark (I’m rephrasing): I am not for Russia, and I am not a patriot in any shape or form. So, as an unbiased outsider, I am telling you all: THERE IS AN ALL OUT WAR THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED AGAINST RUSSIA, AND UNLESS YOU WAKE UP, YOU’LL BE OBLITERATED.

CONCLUSION: what’s happening is so blatant that it’s beginning to become evident even for some of the blind Russian neolibs and Russophobes. As we see, even those who cannot be accused of any support for Putin, and even those who openly or secretly hate Russia, are beginning to see what the West is doing! That is, if they have a modicum of honesty and honor. This applies to both Russians and non-Russians.

If they don’t, you’ll see them continue trying to destroy Russia, and continue lying about Russia. This will be your litmus test going forward: if they continue lying and blaming Russia for all mortal sins, this is a sure sign they are completely dishonest and sold-out. This is how you know whether to trust a specific organization, news outlet, book, politician or leader of a country, or not.

I haven’t commented for a long time. But feel the need to point something out because you Lada – have not covered this point before (to my limited knowledge anyway).

Everyone ‘sugar coats’ their ‘Russophbia’ and dress it up with ‘excuses’ and ‘reasons’ but no one dares call it out and highlight it for what it is: RACISM. Russophobia is racism. All the fabrications and lies are racisms. What the Russian community do to harm themselves is ‘accepting’ that some is Russophobic and not calling the Russophobe for what they are: Racists. All the media need to be called out on this. All the politicians need to be accused of this. The West is Racist. And they get away with being racist by tricking people into believing that Russophobia is not Racism.

Please everyone: Call it for what it is. Washington is Racist. IsraHell is a nation of racists. The UkroNazies are Racists. Brussels are a pack of racists. You can’t promote ‘multiculturalism’ and try and use it as an ‘alibi’ to hide your true intent. It not about black or white or yellow or a shade of grey we haven’t heard of yet. (Russia has all of those ethnic multitudes making up the Russian Federation.) The people who tarnish Russia with the lies and the hate and the vilification are all Racist. Please call them for what they are: Racist. And lets not pretend otherwise.

The online and Russian community need to call the racists out on this. Like a dog with a bone or a Put Bull’s bite, never let go; never let up; call the racists out for what they are and make sure everyone knows about it.

A very poignant point, Peter.
In a round-about way, Lada did touch on this in her Forbidden History webinars when covering the origins of the word “race”. “Russophobe” and “racist” are, in the matter of fact, the exact synonyms.

I agree with Peter’s assessment that “multiculturalism” is often cover for racism. I was in college when JFK was assassinated and would describe myself politically as a “classic liberal”. The 2016 election & post Trump MSM/Hillary/DNC behavior crystallized for me that the current American “left” has morphed into something else.

It’s fascinating to watch Trump’s wrecking ball undercutting US Democratic party’s over reliance on “identity politics”. It’s to the point that Democrats have to win 85% of American black vote to win a presidential election. Latest polls show that support has shrunk to 70%. I’m old enough that I spotted Hillary’s calling Trump supporters “deplorables” was code for what used to be called “poor white trash” back in the day when people openly used the N word for African Americans.

The 24th Amendment eliminating the poll tax & expanding the vote primarily to whites because of US demography at the time occurred a year before the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It wasn’t until 1971 that the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 when the moral discrepancy of mandatory military draft of 18 year old males collided with the Vietnam war.

I also think a lot of the Russophobia toward Putin is because of his protecting Russian culture, history, values & Putin’s strong Orthodox Christian values.
